...approved the bishops' condemnation of racial antagonism and discrimination, but the total context of his talk was chilling to liberal theologians. He asserted that the church has a special mission to "guard and transmit intact the deposit of Christian doctrine," thus reaffirming the thought that Christianity is a body of fixed beliefs rather than a faith that ought to be adapted to modern circumstances...
...delegates listened in total silence. From many, no doubt, the silence reflected only respect and attention, but it may also have signified irritation from some ? the delegates of countries that maintain concentration camps and practice torture in the name of security.

This movie contains what may well be the year's funniest sequence. It consists simply of a very old woman, bent almost double under the weight of her senility, inching painfully and in total silence across a room to serve tea to a pair of gentlemen earnestly conversing, trying not to embarrass her by calling attention to her infirmity. Eventually she arrives at her destination, spills the contents of the tray as she sets it down, then departs as slowly and silently as she arrived. Her master and his guest gamely go along with the pretense that the retainer...
